Workshop Consultants

When you get in touch, or come for your appointment, one of our Workshop consultants will be able to help with your enquiries. With training in both repairs and available restorations they can assist with any queries relating to your timepiece and how to look after it going forward. 

Collection and Delivery 

When your clock needs collecting a qualified clockmaker will come to your house, carefully dismantle the clock and pack it to travel safely back to our workshops.

​

If the clock needs installing the clockmaker will help you site it in the best position, check the clock is functioning correctly and talk you through its care and maintenance.

​

Like all machines, clocks need regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. Our clockmaker can clean and oil through your clock between services to ensure the clock remains in tiptop condition.

Conserving Horological History

Ines was always intrigued by the mechanics of watches and eager to understand how they work. After studying watchmaking in Lycée Jean Jaurès she then found a love of clocks, the history, and stories they tell; she is excited to give them a second life. She joined the team in 2018.

As a 16 year old Dave apprenticed to a clockmaker in Burford. 41 years later he is one of the most skilled and experienced clockmakers in the country. He loves the challenge of working on the very fine mechanisms of carriage clocks and is very generous in passing on those skills to younger colleagues.
